Remember “Uncle Robert”? (Our very dear friend who’s just like family.) Well, Robert has a BEAUTIFUL garden. Seriously. All raised beds, trelisses, manicured perfection – looks like something right out of Colonial Williamsburg! And for Liam’s Fourth Birthday Uncle Robert built, delivered and taught Liam to plant his very own garden. They poured the dirt,…

We still can’t believe it. More and more when I look over at him, I see a big boy where my baby used to be. I don’t know where the time has gone. His personality is blossoming – and he’s FUNNY! (I mean really. Comic timing and all.) He sings all the time, he makes…

Liam’s Pre-school held their “Spring Show” in the last week of March, just before Spring Break. (They go back April 12.)

I guess there were really two big blog-worthy events: Christmas! We hit Aunt Eva & Uncle George’s for Christmas Eve. Grandpa was there, too, and Liam had a blast with…

Well, of course, you know that there are TONS of reasons why I have the best job ever. But this morning was a huge reminder of that…coming on the heels of a fairly stressful week. I got a lovely smack in the face – a very sweet reality check – a heartmelting attitude adjuster. Most…
